About Abba
Deriving from either Abena, which is the traditional name for Tuesday-born daughters, or as a variation of Aba, meaning "born on Thursday", this is a name of African origin with a concise but energetic sound. Not to be confused with the Swedish pop group or the Hebrew name or title meaning "Father", Abba appeared in the US charts for girls for the first time in nearly a century in 2023, though it did not reappear the following year.
